2024
Starting 2024 I got placed on a new project at Standard Bank where I formed part of a payments related team that deals with industry related payment types such as the new PayShap program. This project mostly involved working on Spring Boot microservices running in a serverless architecture on AWS.
You can learn more about PayShap here.
In my spare time I also embarked on a journey to build various other projects for myself and for freelance projects. Some of the technologies I used include:
- Spring Boot
- NestJS
- React Native/Expo
- Rust / Tauri
- MicroPython
- ReactJS & NextJS
- PostgreSQL
- Kubernetes & AWS Services
